Unstable BPM

I use djd timecode on CD and get practically zero pitch wandering. Could be lots of things I suppose. A few questions:-How worn/used are your Timecode Vinyls?-How new are your inter connect RCA leads? Could they be damaged at all?-What signal strength do you get when everything is running? Is it consistent?-Are you using pre-amps for the turntables?-Is WiFi turned off?

Not sure if you've already thought of these things, but it 's something to get you started

Just played around and results are better then before, but maybe it can be even better.

Vinyl are not used very much, I use the backside now that hasn't been used ever.Cables are in excelent shape, connectors also.Signal strength 27-29 thousand, marked as 'high.'Turntables have line out. No wifi at desktop.

To answer the questions Adion put there:Needles are stock, Stanton 500.V3. Not used very often also.Tried all pitch smoothings:- None is no go. 0.5BPM offsets at 200BPM track.- SM1 v0.72, looks more stable, however recovery after scratching takes longer.- SM2 v0.74, bit less stable, but recovery from scratching is faster.Pitch Detection Method (Debug tab) is 2. (What is this about??)TT's are leveled and setup correct also.

So after a bit testing it is mainly stable or differs 0.1BPM at 200BPM track. Must say this is for deck A/TT 1. Tomorrow the next one.

Edit:Damn, just tested normal vinyl via line. This sounds kind of gapped. :s Tried other headshell and still gapped like. What could this be? :s

Edit2:Hmm maybe it was due to the vinyl. Others sound practically good.

Edit3:Ok so this could be wrong after all...when routing tt directly to mixer the one sounding gapped earlier sounds good.

Do you notice the fluctuations when trying to mix?Also, if you keep the options window open while vinyl control is activated, does the sync offset also fluctuate a lot?0.6 bpm sounds a little much though, if it is around the same position on the vinyl maybe it are scratches on the vinyl? Otherwise the waveform looks good.

Btw, I'd also recommend to leave the 'latency' at the bottom at 7 ms, perhaps even try higher.It's a complex variable that indirectly affects the latency a bit, but it's more dynamic.

Strange problem anyways, one moment it's no more than 0.2BPM fluctuation, other cases really 0.6BPM. I will watch the needle position and note it down in order to find out if it is due to the vinyl.Is there also a posibility the turntables internals are of low quality so it can't keep a steady speed? (Would surprise me however.)

Oh and one more: The needles catch quite a bit of dust. People say it's time to change them then, but like I said earlier, they are not much used...I could take the risk of buying new (other) cardridges+needles etc...

I think fluctuations are about 0.1% here, I don't suppose you have Serato vinyls to try with?Also, have you tried with absolute mode instead of relative mode?You could also try manually increasing the pitch variance setting, although this will reduce sensitivity too.

Thanks.No other vinyls to try, but these TS two.Never really tried absolute mode. Noted.How to do this manually? Set pitch variance higher?

I always heared a noise when the platter of deck 2 was spinning, you know, at every round like it touched something.Opened up the table, stripped motor down to the magnetics/spool. One of the spool wires was crossing the magneticfield, put that aside and build up again. The 'wrong sound' is gone now.Quick config done, turned over the timecode vinyl to very less used side and start playing. Around 0,06% fluctuation (the value as shown by SSL skin, not in djDecks options). Sick right?

But, as soon as you pick up the needle and put it back again...50% chance it fluctuates like hell again and if it does...the chance it's good again after a 2nd picking up/putting back is very less. Doing some back and forwards spins most times do end in the good situation.

Confusing...Because it is possible to have stable pitch, I would say it's not the turntables.Because it is possible to have stable pitch at places on the vinyl were is can be unstable as well, I would say the vinyl is not the worst part here.Because it's stable when needles are exchanged (deck 1 -> deck 2), I would say it's not the needles.Even when exchanging needles and vinyls, most of the times the situation does not change....

In regular djDecks, the pitch variance is just a text box, so you can type in it to change it to a higher value.In djDecks DX, you should be able to click it and drag up or down to change the value I think.

Btw, did you try with both DX and regular, and if so, was there any difference? (I think it probably won't make much difference)
